5-substituted derivative converted

Phthalic anhydride and diethyl phthalate are easily converted with hydrazine into 4-hydroxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one. Its substituted derivatives have been prepared using substituted hydrazines, substituted phthalic anhydrides, or diesters or disodium salts of substituted phthalic acids (Scheme 81). However, condensation of phenylhydrazine with phthalic anhydride gives only a small amount of the corresponding phthalazine, the main product being 2-anilinophthalimide. This can be rearranged in the presence of base into the phthalazine derivative. For the preparation of 2,3-disubstituted derivatives, 1,2-disub-stituted hydrazines are reacted with the appropriate phthalic anhydrides or phthaloyl chlorides. Derivatives of 4-amino- or 4-hydrazino-phthalazin-l(2iT)-one have been prepared either from the corresponding monothiophthalimide and 3-aminoisoindolin-3-one (1S4) or from ethyl 2-cyanobenzoate (155) and hydrazine hydrate (Scheme 82).

Diesters of phosphoramidic acid are converted to the corresponding isocyanates by phosgene but with A-substituted derivatives the phosphoramidic chlorides are formed. In a similar reaction oxalyl chloride... 

Stepwise addition of the aniline moieties in analogy to Scheme 7 (Route A) allows the preparation of asymmetrically substituted derivatives.55,56 The use of pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid anhydride similarly results in the formation of mixtures of 5- and 6-azaphthalides.57 Quinoline-2,3-dicarbo-xylic anhydride has also been converted into the corresponding azaphthal-ides in a similar manner.58 Pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride yields... 

Alkenylbenzotriazoles 865 are readily prepared by isomerization of the corresponding allyl derivatives catalyzed by Bu OK. Lithiated compounds 865 are treated with electrophiles to provide a-substituted derivatives 866. Epoxidation of the double bond with ///-chloroperbenzoic acid converts intermediates 866 into oxiranes 867 that can be hydrolyzed to furnish a-hydroxyketones 868 in good yields (Scheme 140) <1996SC2657>. 

Methyl a-D-glucopyranoside may be converted,271 in a remarkably selective reaction, into its 2,4,6-tribenzyl ether (in 62% yield) on treatment with three molar equivalents of sodium hydride in benzyl chloride at 110°, a substitution pattern that might have been predicted in view of the low, relative reactivity of HO-3 towards alkylation in the mechanistically related, Haworth procedure.268 Similar, selective benzylations have also been achieved on partially substituted derivatives of methyl a- and /3-D-galactopyranoside272 and on methyl 6-deoxy-a-L-galactopyranoside62 in all of these, an unexpectedly high relative-reactivity of HO-4 (ax) compared to that of HO-3 (eq) was noted, indicating that steric factors are not the sole influence on reactivity in these cases. Nevertheless, the primary hydroxyl... 

Copper-catalyzed monoaddition of hydrogen cyanide to conjugated alkenes proceeded very conveniently with 1,3-butadiene, but not with its methyl-substituted derivatives. The most efficient catalytic system consisted of cupric bromide associated to trichloroacetic acid, in acetonitrile at 79 °C. Under these conditions, 1,3-butadiene was converted mainly to (Z )-l-cyano-2-butene, in 68% yield. A few percents of (Z)-l-cyano-2-butene and 3-cyano-1-butene (3% and 4%, respectively) were also observed. Polymerization of the olefinic products was almost absent. The very high regioselectivity in favor of 1,4-addition of hydrogen cyanide contrasted markedly with the very low regioselectivity of acetic acid addition (vide supra). Methyl substituents on 1,3-butadiene decreased significantly the efficiency of the reaction. With isoprene and piperylene, the mononitrile yields were reduced... 

The first CPO-catalyzed epoxidation was reported by McCarthy and White in 1983 [137]. Since this discovery, several research groups have intensively studied the substrate selectivity of this enzyme for the enantioselective epoxidation. As shown in Table 8, styrene and its ring-substituted derivatives are epoxidized by CPO in moderate enantiomeric excesses (entries 1 -8). In contrast, for the cis- -methylstyrene (entry 9) and tetrahydronaphthalene (entry 11) high enantio-selectivities were observed, while the trans-j3-methylstyrene was not converted by CPO (entry 10). 

Aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines 257 were converted into the corresponding 4-aryl substituted derivatives 259 via treatment with alkyl nitrites and boiling in aromatic solvent. The isomer distribution of 259 prepared by these route was that predicted for a radical intermediate (ortho, meta, and para). The structure of isomers was established by H-NMR. Unusual fragmentation products were isolated these probably result from collapse of the radical intermediate 258 (83JOC4605). Methylation of 257 takes place at either N-1 or N-2. Further methylation affords methylamino derivatives structures of the products were established by C-NMR as well as by chemical methods (75JOC1822). 

Trialkylaryltin derivatives 30 are converted into fluoro-substituted derivatives 31. 37-38 (4-Mcth-oxyphenyl)trimethylsilane (32) in acetonitrile gives 4-fluoroanisole and (3-fluoro-4-meth-oxyphenyl)trimethylsilane in the ratio 1 2. A -Methyldiethanol esters of arylboronic acids 33 (l-aryl-5-methyl-2,8-dioxa-5-azonia-l-boranuidabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes) are converted into tluoroaromatic compounds with cesium fluoroxysulfate in acetonitrile in the presence of 1,3-dinitrobenzene at room temperature.39-40 Regiospecific synthesis of 2-fluoro-3-0-methyles-trone in 27 % yield occurs upon fluorination of the corresponding arylboronic acid with cesium fluoroxysulfate.41... 

F-marked potassium fluoride has been prepared and used to convert ethyl 2-bromo-propanoate (11) to the corresponding l8F-substituted derivative 12.50... 

Dicyclohexano-4//-selenopyran (62) and its 4-substituted derivatives were converted by triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid to stereoisomers of tetrahydro products 439 (R = H, Ph, 2-FC6H4, PhCHj).385... 

Indole synthesis. Fuhrer and Gschwend3 have converted N-pivaloylaniline into the dilithio derivative a by reaction with 2 equivalents of n-bulyllithium and have reported that orr/io-substituted derivatives are obtained in good yield by reaction of I Wilh an electrophile. The same species can be prepared somewhat more efficiently from iin o-bromo-N-pivaloylaniline (1) by bromine lithium exchange and N-deprotonation with methyllithium and r-butyllithium (equation I). This dilithium riegcnl can be used for synthesis of indoles.4 Thus it reacts with a bisclcctrophile... 

In a clear demonstration of such advantage, 2-fluoropyridine (11) has been converted into the 3-substituted derivative 190 (Scheme 55) (88JOC2740). Thus, metalation of 11 followed by iodination gave the 3-iodopyridine 189 which, upon the application of standard SRNi reaction conditions, furnished 190 in almost quantitative yield. This reaction adds an umpolung dimension to substition chemistry of halopyridines formed by DoM processes.
